Maybe due to it being published by square now has something to do with it. They delisted the Nintendo published version and will probably list the Square one going forward.

Go digital they say

Example after example shows why all digital isn't a good idea. Yet people still doing it.

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake209d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga209d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx209d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga209d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9209d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler210d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666209d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52209d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott208d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52208d ago (Edited 208d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara199d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52209d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner209d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52209d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster210d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot209d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster209d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned209d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9209d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1209d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster209d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
